@pillarrocks: Mirage was a story that never felt like it mattered and gameplay that never got particularly interesting. I still want AC to get away from the far-too-large, far-too-shallow loot driven pseudo-RPGs that the last three mainline games were, but Mirage was not a well executed return to form for Assassin's Creed.
@Sushiglutton: I doubt most of the folks very focused on the identity of the protagonist are interested in the giving the game a chance, and probably wouldn't be interested in it at all if not for the "political" main character. They're here for the drama, not the game.
If they're going to do multiple playable characters, I definitely prefer making them each different characters, rather than different versions of the same character.
@mooglestar: 7 out of 10 sounds about right to me. Basterds had some great dialogue, but kinda got lost in its multilayered revenge plot and over-the-top violence. I liked it slightly more than Django or Reservoir Dogs, but less than any of his other movies save Hateful Eight.
It's bad, all the Prequels are bad, but Phantom Menace I think a lot of folks have more nostalgia for because the hype leading up to its release was huge. People were super excited for Star Wars to come back, and going to see Phantom Menace was something of an event that was a lot of fun, even if the movie itself ended up kind of sucking. With Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, our hopes had already been dashed and there was no expectation that those movies would be good.
